Every aspect of The Dolan has been carefully designed from the viewpoint of our residents for safety and a feeling of security. Our therapeutic programming is woven into daily activities with every detail taken into account.

Outside, you’ll notice that The Dolan is a free-standing facility that provides a safe, secure environment in a park-like setting. Beautiful therapeutic gardens are part of our setting, and lush wooded grounds provide a backdrop that is lovely all year ‘round.

Inside, The Dolan Center offers companionship, security and compassionate care with a sense of spirit and vitality. Individualized, personal care is provided to residents in all stages of dementia, and all residents enjoy these amenities at the Dolan:

• Private studio apartments that are furnished with a resident’s own belongings.
• Memory cases at each apartment door to tell their life story and help identify which apartment is theirs.
• Walkways that assist our residents in walking throughout their neighborhood while being given reassurance that they are not lost.
• Other visual cues to keep a resident from feeling disoriented, to help a resident feel centered.
